DESCRIPTION Lone Star's wonderful Impy Roadmasters were first produced in 1966. The first-generation Impy models are the best and can be identified by their gem-like headlights and regular wheels. This is a second-generation car without the gem headlights and with modified wheels. Few German Fords have been produced in 1:64 scale and this Tanus 12M is one of the earliest. Impy's Lone Star diecast are wonderfully detailed with opening doors, hood and trunk, and realistic engine detail. This example is in excellent condition and a rare find.
